currently NO trains at all west of Yeovil nor south of Bristol and about a couple of coaches a day by national express into Cornwall from London and the north -

i know FGW are doing what they can - 100's of buses being placed down there for rail replacement and there is a fleet of trapped trains on the west side of Dawlish to operate a service between PNZ - PLYM and newton Abbott - but the signalling has had to be be re-jigged due severance form the EXT control box.
this is not a train set.

this is a logistical challenge for network rail and FGW trains - which are only running to Bristol Parkway then you have to get on a bus to go southwards UFN.

the SWT trains line to EXT from Waterloo is now closed and severed at Crewkerne due a land slide (will beclosed for a week or so)

are we calling this minor?
